Spring Landscaping Checklist

Last updated: July 4, 2026

Spring is the best time to assess winter damage, refresh beds, and plan hardscape or drainage work before summer heat arrives in Middle Tennessee.

Inspect your property after winter

  • Check for standing water and erosion channels
  • Identify dead or damaged turf areas
  • Review bed edges and mulch breakdown
  • Note downspout runoff paths toward foundations

Plan projects before peak season

Contractor schedules fill quickly in spring. Request estimates early if you need sod, patio work, or drainage correction before summer use.

Homeowner Checklist

  1. Walk the property and list priority problem areas
  2. Schedule bed cleanup and mulch refresh
  3. Test drainage in low spots after rain
  4. Request quotes for hardscape or grading projects
  5. Confirm HOA or subdivision rules for front-yard changes

Frequently Asked Questions

Most beds benefit from mulch refresh in spring, with a possible second refresh in fall depending on breakdown and appearance.
